butterfly...

If you are a Papertrey Ink fan, like myself, you probably are participating in their anniversary celebration for the next week or so. Recently picked up the Friendship Jar stamp set and finally used it, and of course love it... Paired it with the Button Boutique stamp set, Prairie Bird Boutique wrinkle ribbon and some adorable tape from Martha Stewart. Happen to find this little orange butterfly and flower in my "this and that" drawer to give a little more color and dimension. This second card using the same set, but adding a little fabric and felt...When we moved to Florida six years ago I never realized how many butterflies we would get to see on a daily basis with flowers blooming year round here. Just the way their wings flutter, the amazing detail and color each has and there is just something calming about watching them scatter about. If only I could have a butterfly garden again, but with bees liking the same plants and my little men playing outside...not a good mix for us right now. Off to the craft store for some thread that is not pink, yellow or black. Not a football fan so much, so closing myself in the craft room and doing what I love most today.
